It's official: the documentary rescuing the story of Colombians who fought in the Korean War is here

The Colombian journalist Jorge Barón Jr. officially launched the documentary 'Batallón Colombia: Héroes de Corea,' which highlights the role of Colombian soldiers who fought in the Korean War. The film includes testimonials from 14 veterans, historical analysis, and previously unseen footage to provide a comprehensive view of Colombia's military involvement in this international conflict. The premiere took place at the Francisco de Paula Santander Military Academy, attended by over 200 people including national police officials and approximately 20 veterans. Barón criticized the current focus of Colombian cinema and television on criminal figures rather than national heroes, urging the newly elected president, Abelardo de la Espriella, to support initiatives preserving historical memory. He also acknowledged the efforts of veteran associations such as FUNVECOREA, ASEVECO, and ASCOVE.
